BMO/DeveloperBox

Creating a BMO Development System using VirtualBox and Vagrant

• Install Virtualbox on your workstation (http://www.virtualbox.org)
• Install Vagrant on your workstation (http://www.vagrantup.com/)
• From a terminal type: (note: ~7G file)

 vagrant init
 vagrant box add bmo https://people.mozilla.com/~dkl/bugzilla.box

• Edit Vagrantfile to allow port forward to VM of port 80

 Uncomment line that says:
 # config.vm.forward_port 80, 8080

• To start the VM:

 vagrant up

• To login simply type:

 vagrant ssh

• Access the BMO UI at http://localhost:8080/bmo using your browser
• To update the BMO code to latest in bzr:

 vagrant ssh
 cd htdocs/bmo
 bzr merge

• To make a patch of your changes:

 bzr diff > /vagrant/<some_patch_name>_1.patch

This will place the patch file in your home directory of the laptop and not on the VM so you can easily upload, etc.
